Is anyone working on a PS3 controller APP?

Just curious if the PS3 controller is even able to be used with the Evo. I know they got the Wii remote working lol unfortunatnly I no longer have a we remote. Plus that thing chews threw batteries like a kid with candy.

I would be interested in this as well. Mario 3 at work would be luv. Or super punch out

If anyone wants to tackle this one I have done some initial research. Now that CM6 has BlueZ implemented (bluetooth HID support) all we need is a way to handle PS3 controller's unique pairing method:
Using PS3 Controller in Bluetooth Mode With Linux
PS3 Controller Driver For WindowsMobile
Play games on Nokia N900 with PS3 Sixaxis controller
Maemo package - sixad daemon
Interesting Notes:
- "The SIXAXIS apparently does not support the standard Bluetooth pairing procedure; instead, pairing is done over USB, which is arguably simpler and more secure. This command-line utility searches USB buses for SIXAXIS controllers and tells them to connect to a new Bluetooth master."
- "Once the master address is set to your phone, pressing the PS button will cause the controller to send connection requests to your phone. Listen for devices, no authentication, with hid guid on psm 17 accept the connection request, then psm 19, accept that request, then write .... something can't remember... I have to go back to my code... to set the LEDs so they stop flashing and another code to tell the controller to start sending data. Once u r successful the controller constatntly sends packets of 50 bytes continuously describing the state of the controller, tilt, which buttons are down, up, etc so you just need to check for changes react accordingly. I'm handling verything on the L2CAP layer in WinMo. sending keydown and keyup events...."
- I think the easiest way to get this done would be to make a port of the sixad package which is a daemon that handles PS3 pairing and is triggered by udev (device manager) and make a GUI for it. This is what qtsixa is for maemo. This seems to make the most sense as maemo is another linux operating system for mobile.

There is a driver for the ps 3 to windows xp 32 bit. Its a good place to start reverse engineering imo.

Hey nice sig, cant wait for "new vegas".
Anyway back on topic. I wish I could start something lol If I had the ability to develop this stuff Id make some real money I have so many great ideas lol. Unfortunantly I dont even know where to start.

Any news of progress on this?

i'm also interested in this development. i'm currently using a wii controller to play snes games but it lacks the buttons of a snes controller.

Would be great, BUT I thought we would be screwed like we are with the Wii controller, we don't have HID controller profile in our Bluetooth stack right? I use my ps3 controller on my MacBook all the time and would love to use it on my Evo as well but as of now I think the only way to attempt this will be AOSP Roms or a completely new stack for sense...

I have played games with the PS3 controller and my Nokia N900 last year and now it is not possible any more for me because I have switched to Android.
Is there an update or a work in progress app?
Thanks!

[Q] 3.1 and Xbox Wireless Reciever

[Update]
Seems like the answer is yes!
I've not got the 3.1 update yet so I can't tests this.
What are the chances that with the new joystick support and host mode that the USB xbox wireless receiver will work? Would be great to use a wireless 360 pad with the emulators and even android games

Xbox360 wont work wireless. only wired. Maybe ps3 ones will work in the future wireless with bluetooth. What i dont understand is that if you will need to download a driver o someone have to make an app like the one for the wii controller.

Just to be clear, I'm referring to the USB connected wireless receiver for PC's to use the wireless controllers. I know work has been done to get it running in Linux, was hoping they would have added support in 3.1 (long shot I know).
Good question on the app, I assume we'll just need the applications to understand the mappings. I assume the emulators will work since they have a built in mapping utility.

If I had a dang OTG cable i'd be able to tell you...wish verizon would start selling them!

I've now got an otg cable and receiver so once 3.1 hits the UK I'll do some testing

As of now the PC adapter doesn't work. Also app developers need to add some lines of code in order to take full advantage of USB devices. I have dne a little research on it, I don't know how much it would take to add new devices to the xoom, but from looking at it people should be able to write/port drivers to the xoom kinda like how the wii remote work using an app. At least this is my understanding of how it works.

OK guys...
The xbox 360 wireless reciever DOES work I have been playing in snesoid with it quite a bit recently.

Just have to connect the USB receiver to a OTG cable, then connect the wireless controller like normal. Been using it as well, it works fine!

Xbox controller?

I've been reading that the new Transformer Prime supports Xbox controllers. I'm rooted with Overcome 2.something and want to know if I have this ability already. I also read that people have been using a USB dongle that Microsoft sells but I'd like something that is already built in to work. I also have a PS3 controller if that'll work, although I prefer the Xbox controller.
HDMI out and an Xbox controller = big screen NES!!!

since the xbox wireless controller uses a custom wireless protocoll, you can't use it without the dongle. You can use a wired xbox controller though.
I also prefer the xbox controller, but the PS3 controller is better suited for this. Since the PS3 controller uses bluetooth, you can buy a app on the market called "Sixaxis Controller", which allows you to use a PS3 controller over bluetooth with the tab. It's really awesome
EDIT: I also fine the PS3 controller better suited for emulation, because the dpad is in a better position for this.

is there anyway to do this without root? i read somewhere in 3.2 reenabled controller support for 10.1 i have a stock tablet and don't want to root unless i really really need to.

So, just to check, will the Xbox wireless receiver USB dongle work with the tab?

Wondering the same thing. I tried to connect the dongle to my Tab but my controller wouldn't connect to it (just flashed the green light, searching but no connection it seemed).
Is there a way to make the Xbox360 controller work if you connect the dongle to the Tab (or without it for all I care, just want it to work )

I just bought the 30 pin to USB and so far haven't been able to get a wired 360 controller to work but I am running stock so that might be the problem... If I were to root and get like 3.2 or something would this work?

I feel like an idiot, asked this same questions (what do which modules do?) 3 or 4 times now, never got an answer... :S

I just did this, although I haven't tried it yet. Not sure what they show up as when connected though? Going to test it right now
Edit: Blah, the only wired 360 controller I have is a third party one, it showed up but I'm not sure how to use it. I tried the "USB/BT joystick center" app and it wanted me to make a driver by selecting bits of input data directly .

Re: Big NES if XBOX controller works.
Pick up a WII controller - cheaper and closer to the old school NES experience )

Universal OnLive Wireless Controller

Has anyone bought this:
http://www.onlive.com/controller
I want to know if this works in emulators and such, and not just OnLive.
I've tried a PS3 controller connected via sixaxis, and it doesnt work in Onlive. I might consider this if it worked in onlive and emulators.

I'm not certain about the OnLive controller, but in the faq at OnLives site there is this...
---------------------
Can I use a controller with the OnLive Game Service?
Yes. The controllers currently supported are:
•OnLive Wireless Controller (OnLive Game System only)
•Microsoft® Xbox 360® Controller for Windows
•Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Controller for Windows (requires the Microsoft Wireless Gaming Receiver)
•Logitech® ChillStream™
•Logitech® F510
•Saitek® P3200 Rumble Pad
•Mad Catz® GamePad
----------------------
Not sure because I've not tried. But I would guess that one or more of those will do what you are asking.
That said I would like to know the answer to your question as well. Looks like a great controller.

I do have this controller, but I do not have any hd dock or lapdock to test it out for you

He wants to know if OnLive's Universal Controller will work with any of the emulators on his phone, such as SNESoid, NESoid, MAMEoid, and so forth. Sixaxias Controller is an app that lets you connect and use a PS3 controller on your Android device.
I had the same issues with Sixaxis Controller and Wiimote Controller with OnLive. I think this is because both of those are mapping functions to some kind of keyboard function, whereas OnLive's app does not any any keyboard function build into it to use native keyboard. I was able to do limited stuff such as play the "getting started" video because one of the buttons acted like the "s" button on a keyboard.
I have preorder the controller, but I order after they changed the estimated shipping date to the 20th. I don't know if any controllers have been shipped yet. I have heard of some people being able to connect a Xbox 360 controller to their phone with USB adapter for the wireless dongle; so in theory, you may be able to use it with the phone.

Bump, looking for the same thing, anyone tested the controller with GTA3/emulators/etc? Does Bluez IME work?

There's a thread in the Flyer/View forum where a member states that it does work with emulators. I believe that HC 3.2+ is required for tablets and ICS for phones in order for it to work, though.

Using up to 4 Xbox 360 controllers

[edit]this should probably be moved to general
This has probably been said in other forums, but I found this xbox 360 controller receiver through watching a youtube video
(between https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrTmsZIb0a8 and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWCpVIsYgeU)
Amazon Link
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000HZFCT2?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00
Just hook it up to the Shields usb, click the button on the receiver and the controller to sync, and just like that you can have 4 other controllers for multiplayer games.
I haven't yet figured out how to get the xbox 360 controllers LED to stop flashing

I used to use one of those with my laptop to play emulators. The controllers never do stop flashing. They are working correctly, but they just flash the whole time. Always did. However unless you are super OCD it's probably not a big problem.

Did you have any problem using Xbox controller and Shield controller at same time (co-op gaming)?
NSTV can´t recognize Xbox controller as a second gamepad, so in games with co-op I can't use them both...

Nop. Contacted Nvidia, but they say that don't support other controllers....
My only solution is: restart NSTV with only the Xbox controllers connected when I want to use multiple controllers. Otherwise restart NSTV with the Xbox controllers disconnected.

OK, so co-op is possible but only with multiple controllers from one brand, so either the xbox ones or the ones from the shield, but it's not possible to play co-op with one shield and one xbox controller. Did i understand that Right?

Yes. That only happens with wired controllers.
If you use a bluetooth controller it works fine with NSTV controller (only tested with a Xiaomi gamepad). The only problem is key mapping... I can´t use L and R buttons.

there are some games, that don't recognize other controllers than nvidia, but not many.

So I bought a second wireless Xbox controller and even a charging cradle.. But I really dont get it to work, both the Xbox controllers act AS the same player again.. I tried restarting the xbox,I enabled multi controller and tried everything.. How did you get it to work? I am on the lollipop rom. Help really appreciated

If you don't mind a bit of extra work, and your Shield is rooted, you can buy a non-Microsoft adapter for a quarter of the price. You need to make a few changes to the /system/usr/keylayout/ folder, but it takes no more than 5 minutes. I paid just £4.75 for my adapter off eBay with free delivery.

can you share the file so i can copy it to my NSTV

Will this change change fix the dpad not working, with cheap adapter? I'm currently building a arcade stick using a wireless controller board and the lack of a dead is giving me headaches.

Hi all,
Did anyone got this working? I have a xbox360 wireless controller and an Nvidia Shield remote controller but am not able to play Mortal Kombat with both controllers simultaneously... ?

I actually played Rocket League with the Nvidia Controller and 3 wireless xbox controller. It worked after I started the game with the Nvidia controller and then connected the wireless receiver for the xbox controller. I was so happy that it worked!
But then I realized that all my other games - which have co-op gaming - do not support this! But rocket league proves that it is technically possible...
Did anyone got this thing to work for other co-op games?

This thread has put my mind at ease a bit. I connected one 360 pad with the wireless dongle and was really annoyed that it was also Player 1 like the Shield Pad. The flashing light was also odd. I have some more 360 pads though so will try for 4 player this evening

It's so stupid: we can play Bombsquad with one SATV controller and one Xbox360 with Microsoft adapter, but it doesn't work on Trine 2.

Is it possible to connect 2 xbox360 wireless usb adapter to my Shield-TV? I wanna use 8 xbox360 wireless controller.

Tried to connect Xbox 1 controller to my SHield (2017), but unfortunately no dice.

I want to use more than one Gamepad at the Nvidia Shield (2017).
I can stream games from my desktop-PC via GameStream in GeForce Experience to the NV-Shield. This works fine, but not for Multiplayer games like Duckgame for example.
I tested connecting 2 XBOX360 Cable –Gamepads: They both work, but they both control player one.
I tested 2 XBOX360 Wireless Controller with the Microsoft dongle: Both gamepads work but they all control player one.
I tested XBOX One Wireless Controller with the big Dongle: The controllers doesn't work at all.
I tested XBOX One Wireless Controller (Bluetooth): Controller works but only controls player one.
I tested all combinations from the different controller including the Nvidia controller, but all controllers only control player one.

You should check out: https://www.virtualhere.com/
This guy is made a damn great software, supported all known OS's!
Sideload the app onto your shield and the software to the pc. Then you can use your XBOX-360 wireless adapter on your pc. All should work.
You can use share 1 usb device in free-client mode.
